Existence of cosmic neutrinos confirmed by Antarctic scientists

~!~ It has been reported that with help of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, researchers have sifted through numerous subatomic particles that move quickly through its detector each year in order to gather strong evidence backing observations in 2013// It confirms that cosmic neutrinos are present// 

~!~ The confirmation is considered significant for the reason that it indicates a new form of astronomy making use of neutrinos, extremely low mass particles having high energy, produced in black holes, huge exploding stars as well as the energetic cores of galaxies// In the study, the finding of 21 ultra high energy muons offers independent evidence of astrophysical neutrinos from Milky Way Galaxy in addition to cosmic neutrinos from sources that are located outside the Milky Way// 

~!~ The IceCube Collaboration has published the observations in a paper in the journal Physical Review Letters// The data has been called an **unequivocal signal** for astrophysical neutrinos that are ultra high energy particles, which have passed through space unobstructed by planets, stars, galaxies, clouds of interstellar dust or magnetic fields// 

~!~ According to Francis Halzen, a UW Madison professor of physics and the principal investigator of IceCube, **Looking for muon neutrinos reaching the detector through the Earth is the way IceCube was supposed to do neutrino astronomy and it has delivered// This is as close to independent confirmation as one can get with a unique instrument**//
